The photograph on this mural is of the Ulster Memorial at Thiepval. This memorial to the fallen of the 36th Ulster Division is a copy of Helen's Tower on Clandeboye Estate, near Bangor where the men trained before going over to France. The Ulster Memorial bears the words. "This Memorial is Dedicated to the Men and Women of the Orange Institution Worldwide, who at the call of King and country, left all that was dear to them, endured hardness, faced danger, and finally passed out of the sight of man by the path of duty and self sacrifice, giving up their own lives that others might live in Freedom. Let those who come after see to it that their names be not forgotten." http://www.greatwar.co.uk/somme/museum-ulster-tower-visitor-centre.htm
